1. Your Yorkie is not a purebred, Yorkies in general don't shed because they only have a single coat.
2. There may be underlying issues that is causing your yorkies hair to fall out. A trip to the vet may be in order.
3. some yorkies have a finer delicate coat that breaks easily. This may be what you are seeing.
4. depending on if your Yorkie is a puppy it may just be the puppy hair that is coming out as it is replaced by adult hair.
